MB800 2 Ohm Stable

[John Webb]

Is the new GK head 2 Ohm stable.
What's the typical streep price?

Gallien-Krueger MB-800 Ultra Light Bass Amplifier Head:

800W at 4 ohms, 500 watts at 8 ohms
10dB pad
Discrete FET Preamp
Limiter Defeat
4-band active EQwith variable contour
Push Activated Gain A/B
Effects Loop & Tuner mute
XLR DI out with Pre/Post Switch & Ground Lift
Dual Speakon Outputs
Headphone/ Line Output

Dimensions: 10.75 x 8.5 x 1.75
Weight: 4.9 lbs

Looks like around $700 USD

So does this mean I can run my two 4 Ohm cabs?

Price is fairly reasonable.

From the specs it does not appear 2 ohm stable which means it can drive one 4 ohm cab or two 8 ohm cabs.

[Verminaard]

No, it means you could run 2 @ 8 ohm cabs or 1 @ 4 ohm cab from it.
You would get 500 watts with one 8 ohm cab or 800 watts through two 8 ohm cabs (4 ohms) or 800 watts into one 4 ohm cab.

Not 2 ohm stable.

[John Webb]

Carvin wins again.

[Verminaard]

Nice!! Really want the b2000, although a mb800 fusion would definitely get my attention as well.

[Wes Whitmore]

GK has never made a 2ohm stable single channel head that I know of...

[BassmanPaul]

In all honesty I don't think there are too many out there that do!

NO


For future reference (From Carvin)

SPEAKER COMBINATIONS and OHMS ( Ω ):

Four x 8Ω cabinets = 2Ω
Three x 8Ω = 2.66Ω
Two x 8Ω = 4Ω
Two x 4Ω = 2Ω
One 8Ω and One 4Ω cabinet = 2.66Ω
Two 8Ω and One 4Ω = 2Ω
One 2.66Ω and One 8Ω = 2Ω
Two x 2Ω = 1Ω
Three x 4Ω = 1.33Ω
Two x 4Ω and One 8Ω = 1.6Ω
One 2.66Ω and One 4Ω = 1.6Ω
